Just giggling at how old this thread is. It was started back in Sept 2006, wonder how it got dug out of the mass of old posts...

Well, we all knew it had to be a mistake!
!!!
Hey now! She didn't HAVE to be wrong....DD weighed 31 pounds at 9 months old! I've posted pictures here before...and yes, she was so heavy I pretty much never carried her, dh had to, because she gained so much weight so fast coupled with me having such a long, difficult birth recovery that I never regained enough strength to carry her before she grew again...it was SO annoying...but I still managed to get some wear out of my slings, LOL!
And yes, dd was FF at 9 months, because i had the....*sigh* comfortsport, which has a RF limit of 30, and i had NO CLUE that other seats had higher limits(nor did anyone i asked for help), so I thought I *HAD* to turn her.
Poor kid.
(for anyone wondering what a 31 pound 9 month old looks like, here's a pic...)

And here is the same child as a 31 pound 2.5 year old, just so you don't think she is being abused by being overfed or whatever, she has slimmed down into a perfectly-proportioned little girl! LOL!...(yes, those are fake tattoos on her arm, she isn't THAT dirty, LOL!)

My ds who will be 3 in October was 36 lb at 6 mo, and no he wasn't overfed, he had a boobie addiction! He's now 34 lb. His head has always been off the charts, as was the rest of him for a long time. They did tests, he's fine, just a big guy. We called him staypuff, like the character from Ghost Busters because he was always smiling and when he started toddling about, that is exactly what he looked like! I'm 5'2" and normally about 115 lb, DH is 6'1" and about 185 and our oldest dd, who was 5 lb 3 oz at birth is now 13 and
5'8" and 120lb....all kids are different and parent's size may not always give a good indicator. Glad I'm not the only one who's had a marshmallow man! I know people think I'm full of it when I mention how big he was but when you see the pics....there's no denying!
